Bath Planning Commission Recommends rezoning for proposed Apartment development

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Bath Borough Planning Commission unanimously recommended a proposed zoning change for a vacant 18acre property at 467 W. Main St. during its meeting on Monday, May 18, moving a potential apartment development one step closer to consideration by Bath Borough Council. The recommendation would change the property's zoning designation from Manufactured Commercial (MC) to High Density Residential (R3), allowing a residential development proposed by Monocacy Builders. The property

currently is vacant and bordered by residential neighborhoods and an existing R-3 district.

Representing applicant Plamen “Rocco” Ayvazov from Monocacy Builders LLC, Attorney Victor Scomillio said the company is under an agreement to purchase the property and is seeking a sketch plan review while pursuing the zoning amendment. He said the current commercial zoning has effectively limited development opportunities on the site and that the proposed zoning change would allow for a more efficient use of the land.

Scomillio said the development

concept includes approximately 217 to 220 apartment units, down from an earlier estimate of 244 units because of the property's steep topography. The project would consist of eight buildings containing one- and two-bedroom apartments, with rental rates expected to range from approximately $1,400 to $2,000 per month.

The proposed development would be accessed primarily from West Main Street, with an emergency access point on Century Drive. Scomillio emphasized that residents would

Lehigh Township gets Jaindl update, Interviews new police officers

By LAURA KLOTZ

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met prior to their May 26 meeting in order to conduct interviews of two potential new hires for the Police Department. They agreed to extend conditional offers of employment to both candidates, subject to the completion of their drug tests, polygraphs and psychological examinations. On the recommendation of Police Chief John Henry, they also agreed to conclude the probationary period of Officer Richard Houser and make him a permanent officer beginning on June 10.

Representatives of the Lehigh Valley Resort and Spa project presented the supervisors with an update. The ground for the new wastewater treatment plant was broken on Indian Trail Road at the beginning of May, and the first phase is expected to be completed within two weeks. Tanks will be set in July. The majority of the construction should be completed by September, though it was acknowledged that the project may be affected by the weather; however, they are on or ahead of schedule.

The project team is working closely with the Lehigh

Municipal Authority. Equipment will not be put into the new structure before 2027. In response to an audience question, it was confirmed that everything being built in the Indian Trail Park area is being situated well above the 100-year flood level, so even if the creek at the park were to flood, the buildings will be very safe. After the treatment plant is completed, the next phase will most likely be installing the water line from the city of Bethlehem.

On the resort side, they are currently addressing issues inside the building and are “excited to get going” once the water

treatment plant is ready. The project’s plan recording is due to expire in August, and they expect to request an extension of one year to cover all bases. Jaindl is still going to provide Indian Trail Park with playground equipment once the recreation board confirms what they want.

East Allen approves Township Line Road reconstruction project, Considers historic Review board

By KERI LINDENMUTH

The long-awaited Township Line Road reconstruction project in East Allen Township is one step closer to becoming a reality.

The joint project with Lower Nazareth Township was approved by the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors during its May

28 meeting, with the contract awarded to H&K Group Inc. for $1,168,981. The project will be funded through a $1.25 million grant awarded in February.

In July 2025, East Allen and Lower Nazareth entered into an intergovernmental cooperation agreement to reconstruct the

Myster Tree and Shrub Service

road, a project both townships and their residents have been looking forward to. The agreement allowed Lower Nazareth Township to apply for funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development’s Multimodal Transportation Grant Fund, which will help restore 1.4 miles of the shared roadway.

In other news, East Allen Township continues to prepare the final draft of its updated zoning ordinance as part of the River Central Comprehensive Plan.

Among the discussion items during May’s meeting included establishing a review board that could review how new development, like warehousing and truck terminals, impact nearby historic properties.

Memor y LaneMemor y Lane

Supervisors expressed support for the concept.

“I think this is something we could really look at,” said Supervisor Chris Cruz. “It does protect those historic houses, and that’s what we’re all pushing right now in this township.”

According to Cruz, also a member of the township’s Historical Society, the society knows of 32 historic homes in the township.

“I think this is a good thing,” he added. “We are looking to preserve and protect these places, and that’s what the community wanted.”

“This history of the Valley is just disappearing,” added Supervisor Roger Unangst.

Township Solicitor Joseph Piperato suggested establishing the review board through a separate ordinance rather than incorporating it into the zoning ordinance.

While the board would not have the authority to approve or deny projects, it would help ensure developments are designed in a manner that is sensitive to nearby historic properties, including architectural considerations.

Morningstar Living is dedicated to providing education to caregivers, professionals and community members about dementia-related diseases. Memory Lane is an initiative aimed at providing information and education to the public, specifically about dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease affects more than memory—it also damages the brain’s blood vessels and the protective blood–brain barrier. In this seminar, Silvia Fossati, PhD, Director, Alzheimer’s Center at Temple will share emerging findings on how abnormal amyloid and tau proteins stress brain blood vessel cells, disrupt energy production, trigger inflammation, and accelerate nerve cell damage. Dr. Fossati will highlight groundbreaking research being conducted at Temple University that shows how targeting specific mitochondrial enzymes may protect blood vessels, restore barrier function, and improve the brain’s ability to clear toxic proteins. These discoveries point to promising new treatment strategies now being explored for future clinical trials.

Supervisors also discussed increasing standard lot size in the township from one acre to 1.5 acres, something which they ultimately decided against adding into the ordinance.

“One acre in a rural community is higher density than you normally see,” explained Township Manager Brent Green. However, supervisors raised concerns about how a larger minimum lot size could affect development rights and conservation easements, particularly for farmers seeking to preserve their land while maximizing preservation funding.

Furthermore, while some residential developers seeking to maximize total units have faced issues fitting homes on a one-acre minimum due to topography, supervisors argued this is not the township’s limitation to overcome.

“This falls into ‘if it’s not broke, don’t fix it,’” reasoned Township Engineer James Milot.

The next East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 11, at 7 p.m. at the East Allen Township Building, located at 5344 Nor Bath Blvd.

Answering The call: How 17,000 EMS Professionals Keep Pennsylvanians Safe with

MultiMillion dollar Investments

Submitted by DEBRA BOGEN

In a modern world that revolves around instant delivery, apps, and on-demand services, EMS professionals take readiness, expertise and urgency to a new level to protect Pennsylvanians.

More than 17,000 emergency medical services professionals across Pennsylvania work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on holidays and in all conditions to provide essential emergency medical care to individuals in their communities. No matter where EMS professionals live, in rural, urban and suburban areas of the state, they share the same devotion to the communities they serve, passion for their work and skill in providing compassionate life-saving emergency medical care.

At a time when some Pennsylvanians are worried about access to care and unsure of whether their urgent medical needs will be met, Pennsylvania’s EMS professionals are prepared to answer the call.

The Eastern Pennsylvania EMS regional council covers 6 counties including Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Schuylkill counties. This regional EMS council provides more than 52 EMS agencies with up-to-date equipment, funding opportunities and training assistance. In Pennsylvania, EMS professionals play a vital role in our health care

What do you mean I’m adopted?

system, responding to more than 2.3 million calls annually. While people may go about their life not expecting to need EMS, when they do, they trust EMS professionals to be well trained and arrive with the skills and equipment needed to handle the emergency.

As the first in the nation to establish EMS, Pennsylvania continues to implement innovative methods that prioritize patients' health, improve outcomes and emphasize efficiency in care. Local ambulances have begun to carry units of blood, which can help save approximately 37% of trauma patients with severe bleeding. Pilot programs across the state are training EMS professionals to directly transport patients needing behavioral health services to mental health facilities instead of an emergency department. As we work to introduce additional strategies that advance EMS practices in Pennsylvania, the Shapiro Administration remains committed to ideas that transform emergency health care.

Each EMS professional –whether an Emergency Medical Responder, Emergency Medical Technician, Advanced Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic or Pre-Hospital Registered Nurse brings valuable skills to the health care profession. They employ physical and mental skills that come from intense training and preparation. Skills like customer service, problem-solving, adaptability and communication are integral to preparing individuals who want to become EMS professionals. During transport, EMS professionals provide critical medical care while they help patients remain calm in highly stressful situa-

tions, and communicate with care providers about a patient’s conditions – all while ensuring patients arrive safely at the hospital.

Over the past three years, Governor Josh Shapiro's and the General Assembly, invested nearly $56 million directly into EMS to enhance the quality and efficiency of emergency care in Pennsylvania. The Governor’s 2026-2027 proposed budget includes an additional $6 million investment from the Emergency Medical Services Operating Fund to help EMS agencies purchase modern equipment while recruiting and retaining EMS professionals.

Previous investments helped agencies acquire state-of-the-art medical equipment, including video laryngoscopes, intravenous pumps and moving and lifting devices. These tools help patients who rely on the speed and effectiveness of our EMS professionals to deliver the best care before they arrive at a hospital. When we invest in EMS, we invest in the health and well-being of all Pennsylvanians. EMS professionals keep their communities alive, helping the next generation of Pennsylvanians grow. Their work restores the health of communities across our Commonwealth,

and the Shapiro Administration will continue to prioritize strategies that support EMS professionals.

Residents as young as 16 years old can start training and serving their communities; if you are interested in exploring EMS opportunities to serve your community, visit pa.gov/ems<https:// www.pa.gov/agencies/health/ healthcare-and-public-healthprofessionals/ems>.

Township Solicitor David Backenstoe said that Engineer Michael Muffley is finishing the wording on the data center ordinance. Backenstoe will not be at the next meeting, so at the request of the supervisors, they will wait to present the ordinance until the meeting on June 23. The nuisance ordinance is also nearing completion.

Zachary Szoke provided the supervisors with requested documentation about the land preservation, showing the source of his figures. “If you want us to stop talking about this,” he said, “get it on the ballot and let the people vote. If they vote no, we’ll walk away.”

Katherine Mack also expressed her opinion that the land preservation issue should be put on the ballot, as the township residents have widely varying thoughts on the matter and a vote is the only sure way for the supervisors to know how the majority feels. “Votes are the only decisive and objective way to know the will of the people. Their voices can and should be heard.”

Board member Janet Sheats said that she spent most of the day of the primary election at the polling places, talking to voters about land preservation and data centers. She was shocked by the number of people she met who were completely unaware of either issue, and said that she has no problem with putting the

land preservation question on the ballot, but only after sufficient information has been provided to the public, so that they can make an educated decision.

The board then adjourned for an executive session about collective bargaining. On the resort side, they are currently addressing issues inside the building and are “excited to get going” once the water treatment plant is ready. The project’s plan recording is due to expire in August, and they expect to request an extension of one year to be on the safe side.

The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, in the municipal building at 1069 Municipal Road, Walnutport.

not travel through the nearby Old Forge development and that the project would generate less truck traffic than commercial uses currently permitted under the site's zoning.

Project Engineer Kevin Horvath said the applicant intends to comply with all borough comments and recommendations, including requirements related to emergency access. He noted that several buildings shown on earlier concept plans will be reduced in size because of the property's slopes, bringing them into compliance with zoning requirements limiting buildings to a maximum of 36 units.

Horvath said improvements along Main Street would be determined by PennDOT requirements and that sidewalks could be installed if required by the borough. He also stated that all borough comments would be addressed during the land development process.

Bath Borough Solicitor Colby Grim reminded attendees that any future development would have to comply with the borough's Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.

Several residents voiced opposition during the public comment portion of the meeting.

One resident expressed concerns about increased traffic,

reduced visibility at nearby intersections and the potential impact of additional population growth on borough services, including police protection.

Another resident questioned whether George Wolf Elementary School could accommodate additional students generated by the development.

Adam Whitaker, who said he owns property adjacent to the site, objected to the proposal and argued that the borough should prioritize small-business development. He questioned how the project would benefit the community and said he would prefer to purchase the property himself to prevent the development from moving forward.

Additional concerns were raised regarding stormwater management, runoff and the impact of further residential growth on local infrastructure.

Borough Engineer Ronald Madison said primary access would be from Main Street, while the emergency access would provide a recommended second means of ingress and egress. He noted that borough regulations currently require 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit but suggested increasing that requirement to two spaces per unit. Madison also said any earth disturbance would require an NPDES permit and recommended construction of a sidewalk connection to the existing sidewalk network along West Main Street.

Madison added that

PennDOT may require roadway improvements, including turning lanes or widened turning areas, because of truck traffic traveling down the hill along Main Street.

Before voting, Planning Commission members commented on the proposal. Susan Simon said she would welcome residential neighbors rather than a manufacturing facility, while Emanuel Mirabito said he would prefer the property be developed with apartments instead of a data center or additional warehouses.

Gail Taylor made a motion to recommend the zoning change from MC to R-3 to borough council. Simon seconded the motion, and the recommendation was approved unanimously.

The recommendation now advances to Bath Borough Council, which will determine whether to proceed with the zoning amendment. Planning Commission members noted that the commission's role is advisory and that council has the final authority to approve or reject the zoning change. If the rezoning is approved, Monocacy Builders would then formally submit development plans for review.

Police Blotter

Nazareth Borough Police Department

May 20

Nazareth Police encountered a male individual on May 20, in the vicinity of North Street. During their interaction, officers noticed a potent smell of marijuana emanating from the male. Following a brief conversation, it was established that the male did not possess a valid medical marijuana card. A subsequent search revealed additional illicit items, which were confiscated. The male, 53-year-old Jason Nuttal, was released, pending formal charges.

On May 20, Nazareth Police responded to a call at 16 West Center St. regarding an unwanted guest. Upon arrival, officers spoke with the property owner, who reported that a previously evicted female individual had re-entered the residence. Law enforcement located the individual in the kitchen and escorted her out of the premises, taking her into custody. The individual, 54-year-old Elizabeth Heimrich, was then transported to the Nazareth Police Station for processing, after which she was taken to the Northampton County Prison.

May 25

On May 25, the Nazareth Police Department responded to a call from a victim requesting that her former boyfriend, 34-yearold Vimbisaa Barbbe, be banned from her residence. Officers located the individual and informed him that he was no longer permitted at the location and was not to initiate any contact with the victim. However, shortly after the police interaction, the individual began sending the victim threatening messages via phone and text. Following consultation with the Northampton County District Attorney’s office, it was determined that charges would be filed for terroristic threats and harassment and a warrant issued. The necessary Ikebana.

paperwork was completed by officers, resulting in the issuance of the warrant.

Understanding and Protecting Brain Blood Vessels in Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease affects more than memory—it also damages the brain’s blood vessels and the protective blood–brain barrier. In this seminar, Silvia Fossati, PHD, Director, Alzheimer’s Center at Temple will share emerging findings on how abnormal amyloid and tau proteins stress brain blood vessel cells, disrupt energy production, trigger inflammation, and accelerate nerve cell damage. Dr. Fossati will highlight groundbreaking research being conducted at Temple University that shows how targeting specific mitochondrial enzymes may protect blood vessels, restore barrier function, and improve the brain’s ability to clear toxic proteins. These discoveries point to promising new treatment strategies now being explored for future clinical trials.
